Genshin Impact version 4.0 is just around the corner, and I cannot wait for it to finally arrive because the devs have been drip-feeding us little crumbs of the Fontaine storyline since basically the start of the game, and I am very tired of crumbs. Just please give me the whole baguette, please. I'm starving over here, like all the way back in version 1.0, which was like back in 2020. We learned that Mona writes articles for the Fontaine newspaper, the Steam Bird, and that title alone alludes to Fontaine's steampunk aesthetic. Then, over in Liyue during the 1.4 Wishful Drops event, we met the Oceanids Rhodeia and Endora, who gave us insight into Fontaine's potential themes of purity and political intrigue. And also, there are countless NPCs in all corners of Teyvat who talk about Fontaine's unique technological advancements, bureaucracy, cultural entertainment, energy crises, and of course, economic turbulence. 

《原神》4.0 版本近在眼前，我已经迫不及待它的到来。官方从游戏伊始就不停地以水滴营销的方式放出枫丹故事的面包屑，我已经厌倦了，把整个面包端上来吧，求你了！我现在饿得要死，好像回到了 1.0 版本，那都是 2020 年的事了。我们已经知道的信息有：莫娜为枫丹的报纸《蒸汽鸟报》撰稿，光是报纸的名字就暗示了枫丹是蒸汽朋克风格。然后在 1.4 版本的“纯水之愿”活动中，我们在璃月遇到了纯水精灵洛蒂亚和嫣朵拉，她们暗示枫丹的主题可能是纯洁与政治阴谋。此外，在提瓦特的各个角落，有许许多多 NPC 谈论过枫丹独特的技术发展、官僚主义、文化娱乐、能源危机，当然还有经济动荡。

Now, I've already done a video covering most of these topics, plus some small related theories. But after mulling things over for a bit, I realized that there was still so much left to discover because hidden between the lines is a much more detailed picture of what we can expect in Fontaine. 

So, if you're ready to take a deep dive into the historical and inspirational waters of Fontaine with me, then take a deep breath and we're gonna jump right in, in three, two, one... 

此前，我已经做了一个讨论上述大部分主题的视频，并附带了一些相关的小猜想。但之后我又经过一番思考，发现还有很多东西有待发掘，因为这些线索之中隐藏着一副更加详细的枫丹景象。

所以，如果你准备好和我一起潜入枫丹的历史与原型之水，那么就请深呼吸，在倒计时后一同跳入其中吧——三、二、一！

Okay, so essentially, every NPC we've met so far from Fontaine has had some kind of advanced machinery or device associated with them. Whether it's the evermotion mechanical paintings, the robo-toy making machine, the Mikage Furnace in Inazuma, or the film camera which was introduced all the way back in Liyue during version 1.2. Now, basically, all of these machines have that clockwork craftsmanship which matches the steampunk aesthetic of the latest Fontaine teaser we saw. 

Now, in Genshin, the clockwork-style mechanisms were invented by a guy named Alain Guillotin, who founded the Fontaine Research Institute some 500 years ago. Now, this was around the same time the former Hydro Archon died but slightly afterwards. And that suggests that most, if not all, of Fontaine's technological advancements probably came after the arrival of the new Archon, Focalors. 

大体上看，我们目前遇到的每个枫丹 NPC 都与某种先进的机械装置有关。无论是恒动械画、“大工机”、稻妻的御影炉心，还是此前 1.2 版本就在璃月出现的留影机，它们体现的发条机关工艺都与我们在最新的枫丹预告片中看到的蒸汽朋克风格相匹配。

在《原神》中，这种发条机关是由一个名叫阿兰·吉约丹的人发明的。他大约在 500 年前创立了枫丹科学院，大致在前任水神死后不久。这说明，枫丹的技术进步恐怕有大部分是新任水神芙卡洛斯到来后才出现的。

按：枫丹科学院全称是“枫丹动能工程科学研究院”，这里的“500 年”是推测值。

Now, a period of technological and economic development is often referred to as an Industrial Revolution, and France experienced one that lasted from the mid-1700s into the early 1900s. And this is the time period I think we're looking at for the last 500 years or so of Fontaine's history. During this time period, life for the average person changed drastically, more than any other point in human history.

In 1776, for example, James Watt invented a very efficient form of the steam engine, which not only made trains, ships, and other modes of transportation a reality, but it also introduced mechanized farming to agrarian families. This meant that there was less need for human labor on farms. Now, this sparked a massive migration of people from the countrysides into cities, which was serendipitous because the steam engine also made energy-hungry and expensive facilities like large-scale factories possible. Even with all of its mechanizations, these factories required a lot of human labor—at an extremely low cost, of course. These factory workers were usually people who had no other employment options, like women who were discouraged from working most jobs and of course, orphaned children. The working conditions were obviously horrific, the hours were long and grueling hours and the pay was laughably low, which kept workers in a state of perpetual poverty. 

如今，我们会把技术和经济发展的时期称为“工业革命”。法国经历了从 18 世纪中叶持续到 20 世纪初的工业革命，我认为这对应了枫丹过去 500 年的历史。在这个时期，普通人生活发生的巨大变化，比人类历史上其他任何时期的都要大。

例如，在 1776 年，詹姆斯·瓦特发明了一种高效的蒸汽机，它不仅使火车、轮船等交通工具成为现实，还将机械化农耕引入了农民家庭。于是农场对人力劳动的需求减少了，引起人口从农村大规模迁往城市。正好，蒸汽机也带动了大型工厂这类高能耗且昂贵的设施。这些工厂即使已经机械化了，也仍然需要大量的人力劳动——当然是以极低的成本雇佣。这些工厂的工人通常是没有其他就业选择的人，比如不被其他大部分工作认可的妇女，还有孤儿等等。工人的工作条件非常恶劣，工作时间长、强度高、工资极低，于是他们陷入了长久的贫困之中。

This, of course, led to the creation of two very different social and economic classes of people: those who owned the factories, the bourgeois, and those who worked in the factories, the proletariat. This disparity between the classes was exacerbated by extreme population growth in the cities from migration, mostly, which created slums with again, horrible living conditions, riddled with disease and a lack of fresh water.

Given that the time period overlaps with the invention of the James Watt steam engine and since Fontaine is the nation of water, steam power is most likely its primary source of energy and also its source of steampunk aesthetic. But, obviously, steam comes from water, and when you mix water and industrial practices and poor living conditions, well, it's pretty easy to see how you'd get bitter or polluted water. That's why some of the Oceanids would want to part ways with Focalors and eventually leave Fontaine altogether. I don't think they parted on good terms. 

这自然导致了两个完全不同的社会和经济阶级：工厂的所有者，即资产阶级，以及在工厂工作的人，即无产阶级。城市中，阶级的差距由于人口极度增长而加剧，而人口增长主要是由于迁徙造成的，这又形成了生活条件恶劣、充满疾病又缺乏淡水的贫民窟。

这段时期与詹姆斯·瓦特的蒸汽机有关，并且枫丹是个与水有关的国家，所以蒸汽动力很可能是它的主要能源，这也是它蒸汽朋克风格的来源。不过，蒸汽出于水，将水、工业实践以及恶劣的生活条件等要素混合，很容易想到苦水或被污染的水。这就是某些纯水精灵与芙卡洛斯分道扬镳，并彻底离开枫丹的原因。我认为她们的分手并不愉快。

Remember how I mentioned that there was a severe division of classes in this time period in France? That may extend not just to the people but to the Oceanids as well. We learned way back in version 1.4's Wishful Drops event that most of the Oceanids were not on good terms with the current Archon, something to do with the water getting bitter in Fontaine. Oceanids thrive in pure waters, so bitter waters are obviously unacceptable. But after seeing the 3.8 special program teaser, I think it might be that the Oceanids are a faction divided. As you can see, most of the city we were shown looked as though the waters were clean and pure, but shots of the sewers suggest that the cleanliness of the surface might be more of a facade, as some Oceanids may live in these pure city waters and therefore take no issue with their new Archon.

前面还提到，法国这个时期存在着严重的阶级分化。这种分化可能不仅存在于人民之间，还可能存在于纯水精灵之间。我们曾在 1.4 版本的“纯水之愿”活动中得知，大部分纯水精灵与现任水神并不和睦，因为枫丹的水变得苦涩了。纯水精灵世代在纯净的水域中繁衍生息，因此无法忍受苦水。而在看完 3.8 版本特别节目的预告片后，我认为纯水精灵自身或许就分为两派。可以看到，在片中展现的大部分城市场景中，水质都很干净，但下水道的镜头暗示，地面的洁净也许更多是金玉其外。可能某些纯水精灵生活在这些纯净的城市水域中，因此她们并不反对新任水神。

While others may have found the living conditions in the affluent areas to be rather intolerable, and when Focalors didn't address the issue, they instead migrated to places like Liyue and Mondstadt. Following that train of thought, notice how whenever you fight Rhodeia, she questions whether or not you are an assassin from her homeland. This implies that Fontaine's justice system extends beyond humans and applies to the Oceanids as well. This sets up Focalors as being a bit ruthless in her approach to governance. I mean, it's being implied that Focalors would assassinate her Oceanids, which to me kind of feels like if Morax would assassinate his Yakshas. And that's just kind of a distressing thought. 

But this actually lines up pretty well with the type of governance issues that France experienced during the Industrial Revolution of the 1800s. At this point in time, France was just exiting a long period of Napoleonic Wars, coupled with famines due to bad harvests caused by bad weather, alongside growing industry which put a lot of farmers and artisans out of work. That forced them into the cities, which then ballooned in population. We're talking 20x growth over the century here. 

另一些则觉得富裕城市的生活环境无法忍受，而芙卡洛斯没能解决这个问题，因此她们选择迁往璃月和蒙德等地。按照这种思路，再加上每次与洛蒂亚战斗时，她都怀疑你是来自故土的刺客，这说明枫丹的司法体系不仅适用于人类，也适用于纯水精灵。这么看，芙卡洛斯在治理手段上有些残酷。我的意思是，这表示芙卡洛斯可能会暗杀她的纯水精灵。对我来说，这相当于摩拉克斯要暗杀他的夜叉一样，让人有些毛骨悚然。

然而，这实际上与法国在 19 世纪工业革命期间遇到的治理问题相当吻合。当时，法国刚刚结束了拿破仑战争的漫长时期，此外又有天灾引起歉收导致饥荒，同时工业发展使许多农民和工匠破产。于是他们被迫进入城市，引起城市人口激增，一个世纪增长了 20 倍。

按：这个数据有误。法国 1800 年人口约为 2900 万，城镇人口占比 8.8%，1900 年人口约为 4000 万（1890 年城镇人口占比 25.9%），1800 年城镇人口的 20 倍比 1900 年总人口还多 1000 多万。

The new government that was in place at the time was not equipped at all to handle the challenges of this new era. This public discontent came to a head in 1848 during the French February Revolution, making it one of the most important years in European history because the activities in France set off a chain reaction of revolutions all over Europe and some of Europe's colonies, for that matter. Ironically, this was also the year The Communist Manifesto was published. Feels pretty fitting, honestly. 

In any case, France's revolution was arguably successful, and so began the era of the French Second Republic. Anyway, there was some movement to improve employment options for men and later women through government programs at this time, but those were eventually shut down by the French National Assembly, who then formed a new national police force. This new government would undergo a lot of changes over time, eventually landing on creating a standardized legal code headed by appointed judges who were then backed by the police force. And that really sounds like how Fontaine may be structured right now. 

当时掌权的新政府完全无力应对这个新时代的挑战。于是公众的不满在 1848 年法国二月革命中达到顶峰，使得这年成为欧洲历史上最重要的一年之一，因为法国的运动引发了欧洲各国以及一些殖民地的一系列革命。《共产党宣言》也正好在这一年出版。一切都显得恰逢其时。

无论如何，法国的革命可以说是成功了，于是法国进入法兰西第二共和国的时代。在这个时期，有一些人努力通过政府计划改善男性，后来也包括女性的就业机会，但这些计划最终被法国国民议会否决，而后议会组建了一支新的国家警察力量。新政府随着时间的推移经历了许多变化，最终形成了统一的法律体系，由几位委任的法官领导，并得到警察力量的支持。这或许就是枫丹的体制结构。

按：这个说法存疑。法兰西第二共和国政权成分复杂，仅四年就被总统拿破仑三世复辟为法兰西第二帝国。

But all of this just meant that the class divide remained unaddressed as France entered a new period known as the Belle Époque, basically the Golden Age of French culture, art, and science. Those in the underclass were numerous, the slums were still terrible places, and crime rates were still exceptionally high within them. 

Now, based on dialogue from NPCs like Julien, Anatole, and Xavier, this sounds like something that could easily be happening in Fontaine right now as well. Julien, for example, talks about how despite his appearance, his living quarters are extremely humble. The rest bemoan their endlessly fluctuating legal system, as well as the severe difficulty in obtaining and their reliance upon government financing. At least, I'm assuming that the Fontaine Research Institute is a government organization. I will be very surprised if it's not. 

但这一切只能说明阶级分化在法国进入所谓的“美好时代”之际仍未得到解决——这个“美好时代”是法国文化、艺术和科学的黄金时代。此时，底层阶级人口众多，贫民窟是犯罪率奇高的可怕之所。

根据于连、阿纳托尔和泽维尔等 NPC 的对话，上述情况似乎也是枫丹目前正在发生的事情。例如，于连说他尽管外表光鲜，但居住场所非常简陋。还有人抱怨法律体系不断变化，政府资助的也很难获取。我认为枫丹科学院应当是一个政府组织。如果不是，反倒出乎意料了。

All of this said, I kind of want to talk about Lyney and Lynette. Now, when they were initially teased in Travail, I thought they were circus performers. And then later on, when I looked closer at the background, I realized that they were atop a really tall building, making the spotlight more of a searchlight instead. So then I thought they might be some kind of phantom thieves. Now we know for sure that they're magicians, but a pair that seems to work for Arlecchino. A topic that we will explore at length in its own video. But I do wonder if there's a little more historical context to be had here. Well, yeah, of course there is. Late 1800s France had this new type of tavern erupt with popularity. It was called the cabaret. And what set it apart from normal taverns was the inclusion of live entertainment hosted by a Master of Ceremonies who'd provide satirical commentary on the political and social vices of the upper class. Many of them became hubs for underground political movements, which is really fitting because a lot of them were in basements, so they were literally underground. The first modern cabaret was Le Chat Noir, which opened in 1881, and it set the stage for all of the cabarets that would open afterwards. Now, with this in mind, take another look at the twins' outfits. They have the right length, the right flare, the right bows in the right places to suit the cabaret's style far more than the fashion of France in the 19th century.

说了这么多，下面我想谈谈林尼和琳妮特。当初他们在“足迹”预告片中首次出现时，我以为他们是马戏团演员。后来我又仔细看了背景，发现他们站在一座很高的建筑物上，而聚光灯则更像是探照灯。所以我又觉得他们可能是义贼。现在我们知道，他们其实是魔术师，似乎在为“仆人”工作。关于这点，我会在二人专门的视频中进一步探讨。现在我想知道的是，他们是否有更深的历史背景——当然是有的。19 世纪末的法国出现了一种新型的酒馆，叫做卡巴莱。卡巴莱与普通酒馆的区别是，它包含了由主持人主持的现场娱乐活动，其中主持人会对上层阶级的政策和社会弊端做出辛辣的讽刺。许多卡巴莱后来成为地下政治运动的中心，这也算是名副其实了，因为它们中有许多位于地下室，是真正的“地下”活动。第一家现代卡巴莱是 Le Chat Noir，于 1881 年开业，它为之后的所有卡巴莱奠定了基础。请留心这一点，然后再看看双子的服装，它们的长度、缎带和蝴蝶结的位置都非常符合卡巴莱的风格，而有别于 19 世纪法国的时装。

I think a lot of you can see where I'm going with this now, but let me spell it out anyway. With all the in-game evidence supported by historical context, I believe that Fontaine is a nation nearing the end of its Industrial Revolution, suffering incredible growing pains in the form of slums that are filled with disease, poverty, and crime, which then created a huge divide in the social classes. This essentially creates a nation with two sides to it, a light side and a dark side, or if you prefer, an overworld and an underworld. Personally, I believe that the underworld is the current home to Lyney and Lynette, and it's very possible that their base of operations is a cabaret, perhaps one cleverly named after the very first French cabaret, Le Chat Noir, since you know, Lynette has cat ears and Le Chat Noir translates into black cat. In fact, anyone participating in the performing arts may be affiliated with this faction. Navia, the blondie from the teaser, for example, seems to be kind of an idol with how Charlotte is trying to capture her from a dramatic angle. And she also has a very cabaret-inspired outfit. So who knows? But of course, all of this implies that we will be getting mixed up in some kind of government overhaul. But that's also pretty standard for the traveler at this point because they've basically done that for every nation thus far. And in every nation thus far, the Fatui were generally involved. So Arlecchino being here is also a potential reference to the Franco-Russian alliance of the late 1800s is pretty fitting. Again, we'll talk more about the Fatui movements and motivations in another video.

我想你们现在大多能猜到我要说什么了，不过还是让我明确说出来吧。通过游戏内的证据和历史背景，我认为枫丹是一个即将结束工业革命的国家，它的贫民窟中充斥着疾病、贫困和犯罪的苦痛，社会阶级之间形成了巨大的裂痕。这在实质上创造了一个具有两方面的国家，即光明的一面和黑暗的一面，或者也可以说是一个上层世界和一个地下世界。我个人认为，林尼和琳妮特的家就在地下世界，他们的大本营可能是一家卡巴莱，也许就以法国第一家卡巴莱 Le Chat Noir 命名，因为琳妮特有猫耳，而 Le Chat Noir 的意思正是“黑猫”。而且，任何从事表演艺术的人都可能与之有关。例如，预告片里的金发女郎娜维娅貌似是一位偶像，因为夏洛蒂在给她拍艺术照。她的服装也非常有卡巴莱的味道。不好说。当然，这一切都暗示我们将卷入某种政府改革之中。不过，这种情况对于旅行者来说已经司空见惯了，毕竟我们差不多在每个国家都做过这样的事情。而且到目前为止，愚人众也往往会参与其中。所以“仆人”在这里出现可能对应了 19 世纪末的法俄同盟。对此，我会在另一个视频中详谈愚人众的行动和动机。

Now, okay, I know we touched a little bit on Fontaine's technology, but it deserves a second closer look because I suspect it will become another plot point, perhaps an even more important one. Despite the steampunk aesthetic, there is reason to believe that Fontaine has moved on from steam recently to something else. See Anatole tells us

that Fontaine is experiencing a unique energy crisis that involves the water lines. Now, in my speculations video, I suggested that the water lines might refer to a system of water pipes, but water line can also refer to water levels. In Rene's Investigation Notes, there's talk of multiple floods within Fontaine, which caused a lot of problems. The floods obviously mean fluctuating water levels, and it's easy to see how that could totally screw up a delicate steam engine system. Furthermore, steam engines required a lot of heat in order to get the steam, and that meant they required a lot of fuel like coal in order to run. This also contributed to pollution and terrible working conditions within coal mines, which often used child labor as well.

Funnily enough, there are actually mining tunnels beneath Paris, although they weren't used for coal mining, but limestone and gypsum. The most famous stretch of these mines was used as some kind of graveyard in the late 1700s, and you probably know about these as the catacombs of Paris. But here's the thing, if you're trying to mine coal in areas that keep flooding, that's going to make it really difficult to keep the steam engines running. So, this whole energy and water line crisis might actually be about that instead of pipes, and the Research Institute may be trying to find a new power source for their steam engine.

好，前面我们稍微提了提枫丹的技术，而它值得仔细研究一番，因为我怀疑它可能成为另一个关键情节，甚至可能更重要。虽然枫丹看上去是蒸汽朋克风，但有理由认为它最近摒弃了蒸汽，转而采用其他形式的能源。阿纳托尔告诉我们，枫丹正在经历一场与水位线有关的能源危机。在我之前的展望视频中，我提到水位线可能指的是水管系统，但也可以指水位。由雷内的调查笔记可知，枫丹国内曾多次发生“涨水”，这带来了很多问题。显然，涨水说明水位发生了波动，容易想到这或许会完全破坏脆弱的蒸汽系统。此外，蒸汽机需要大量的热才能产生蒸汽，所以它们需要大量煤炭之类的燃料才能运行。这就引出了污染和煤矿内工作条件恶劣的问题，通常还涉及使用童工。

有意思的是，巴黎地下确实有矿井隧道，虽说它们开采的不是煤矿，而是石灰岩和石膏。这些矿井中最有名的一段在 18 世纪末被用作墓地，你可能听说过，它就是巴黎的地下墓穴。问题在于，如果你想在一直涨水的地区开采煤炭，那么这会使蒸汽机难以运转。所以，能源和水位线危机可能指的就是这个，而与水管什么的无关。同时，科学院正在为他们的蒸汽机寻找新的动力源。

Okay, so during the Vibro-Crystal event in version 3.5, we got to meet Anatole, who was the one to tell us about all of this. And funnily enough, he's probably a reference to Anatoly Dyatlov, a deputy chief engineer of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. He was imprisoned after being blamed for not following safety protocols in the events that led up to the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. This suggests that Fontaine might be going from coal to nuclear, which is funny because both of them can be steam-powered.

Now Bertrand, the Fontaine toy maker that we met, flat out says that Fontaine is researching alternate energy solutions and then goes on to talk about a massive explosion at The Institute that involved Arkhium, which could be Fontaine's uranium. More on this in a little bit.

那是 3.5 版本的“振晶的复核实验”活动期间，我们遇到了阿纳托尔，就是他告诉了我们上面的信息。有意思的是，他的原型可能是阿纳托利·迪亚特洛夫，即切尔诺贝利核电站的副总工程师。他因为在试验中没有遵守安全协议而受到指控，最终入狱。这次试验导致了 1986 年切尔诺贝利的核事故。这表明枫丹可能正在从煤炭转向核能，而这两者都可以用作蒸汽动力。

我们遇到的枫丹玩具制造商伯特兰则直接告诉我们说，枫丹正在研究替代能源，还谈到了科学院发生的一次大爆炸，与始基矿有关。它可能就是枫丹的铀，对此，我们再稍微多谈一些。

按：阿纳托利·迪亚特洛夫于 1986 年被捕，次年判处 10 年有期徒刑，实际服刑 5 年，1995 年死于心脏病。他写了一本书称事故原因是核电站设计问题。

Now, I say uranium because the guy in charge of these experiments is named Edwin Eastinghouse, and he is a reference to Westinghouse Electric Corporation, which was founded in Pennsylvania in 1886. Westinghouse quite famously experienced a partial core meltdown in 1960 with their TR2 pressurized water nuclear reactor, and I think that lines up with the Institute's explosion.

The only awkward thing about all of this is that Rene's Investigation Notes explicitly mentioned speaking with Alain, who is most likely Alain Guillotin, the inventor of the kinetic cores and clockwork mechanisms that are likely at the heart and soul of Fontaine's technology. And this is on top of him founding the Fontaine Research Institute itself.

我之所以说它是铀，是因为负责那次实验的人叫艾德温·伊斯丁豪斯，他是对西屋电气公司的戏仿，后者在 1886 年成立于宾夕法尼亚。西屋电气公司曾在 1960 年因为 TR2 压水反应堆发生部分堆芯熔毁而出名，我认为这件事与科学院的爆炸相吻合。

这些信息之中唯一不好解释的一处是，雷内的调查笔记明确提到他要与阿兰聊聊，这个阿兰很可能就是阿兰·吉约丹，他是动能核心与发条机关的发明者，这两项发明如今是枫丹技术的核心与灵魂。除此之外，他还创立了枫丹科学院。

按：伊斯丁豪斯的字面意思是“东屋”。

But remember, Guillotin did all of this 500 years ago, which means that Rene's notes are from 500 years ago, post-cataclysm though. We know this because they met with the Order of Skeptics, and they wouldn't have been around until after the cataclysm happened. It's really important to realize that Rene's Investigation Notes were found inside one of Khaenri'ah's power plants. Supposedly, they were researching Khaenri'ah's power source that we know of as azosite. Azosite is basically just pure elemental energy condensed into a crystalline form, which seems pretty convenient if you're looking for some sort of new power source to solve your energy crisis right? Now, Rene compares the azosite to another type of energy source that's censored out, but they claim that azosite itself has no will because it's just elemental energy in its purest form. They continue to talk about a process of refinement through which a will could be extracted. Then, they go on to say that they believe they can use this power to prevent another disaster, like the two floods they mentioned earlier in the notes. And these are the floods that I was referring to when we were talking about the water line crisis.

但是请注意，吉约丹做的这些事情发生在 500 年前，所以雷内的笔记也是 500 年前的，不过是在大灾难之后。我们之所以知道这一点，是因为他们与矫论团见过面，而矫论团是大灾难之后才成立的。还有一点很重要：雷内的调查笔记是在坎瑞亚的一处发电厂内发现的。他貌似在研究坎瑞亚的能源来源，我们称之为阿索斯物质。阿索斯物质本质上是纯元素能量凝结而成的晶体，如果要寻找一种新的能源来解决能源危机，那它似乎非常方便，对吧？笔记中，雷内将阿索斯物质与另一种遭到涂抹的能源进行了比较，他说阿索斯物质本身没有意志，因为它只是纯粹的元素了。他又谈到萃取其中的意志，并说他相信这种方法可以利用这种力量抵抗另一场灾难，比如笔记中提到的两次涨水。我所说的水位线危机，指的就是这些涨水。

按：此处有误，雷内的调查笔记是从那先朱那处获得的。

Basically, what this means is that it's very possible Fontaine is leveraging some of Khaenri'ah's technology and altering it in ways that are problematic. You see, Khaenri'ah was likely of interest to Fontaine's researchers because their goal as a nation was to be able to build a perpetual machine. And in order to do that, they had to find ways of diverging from the rules of Teyvat because otherwise, how would you have a perpetual energy source? It would go against the rules of nature, right?

Now, elemental energy that has been condensed into azosite cores was stable and efficient, but it was still subject to Teyvat's laws. But if you go and read some of the Lost Notes that you found around Samudra Coast, you'll realize that Abyssal energy, quote, "can distort and pollute the elements, and thus it can be said to hold a higher-order position in terms of rules when compared to elemental energy." In other words, they are not totally subject to Teyvat's laws.

大体上，这说明枫丹很可能利用了一些坎瑞亚的技术，并且朝有问题的方向做了改动。你看，坎瑞亚之所以引起枫丹研究者的兴趣，是因为后者的国家目标是建造一台永动机。为了做到这一点，他们必须找到绕开提瓦特法则的方法，否则怎么可能有永续能源呢？那是违背自然规律的事情，对吧？

浓缩成阿索斯物质的元素能量虽然既稳定又高效，但仍然受到提瓦特法则约束。但是，如果读读你在聚香海岸周围找到的某些遗落的笔记，便会看到深渊能量“可以扭曲、污染神的元素，因此可以认为其在规则上相较于元素能量处于更为高阶的位置”。换句话说，它们并不完全受到提瓦特法则的限制。

These notes then go on to suggest that one could use the azosite smelting process on the Khvarena, which is divine energy that was left behind by the goddess of flowers, and then mix that with the abyss energy to produce some kind of reaction. And that this process here could finally produce the perpetual energy source envisioned by the Khaenri'ahns. A perpetual energy source that poses a serious risk of pollution certainly sounds like exactly what Fontaine is after. Which means that the unknown energy type that was censored in Rene's investigation notes might actually be abyssal energy.

And just to drive things home a little bit, the name Arkhium in Chinese refers to the Greek philosophical principle Arché. And Arché is known as the origin material, likened to the chaos matter from which all things formed at the beginning of time in Greek Mythos. In Orphic mythology, this is the same stuff that the cosmic egg was made out of. And I don't think I need to remind you guys that Before Sun and Moon references to Orphic mythology, but there you go.

这些笔记还暗示，阿索斯物质的熔炼方式也可以应用到花神留下的神的能量——灵光之上，然后将它与深渊能量混合产生某种反应，这样说不定就可以产生坎瑞亚人理想中的永续能源。一种具有严重污染风险的永续能源，听起来确实像是枫丹所求之物。这表明雷内调查笔记中被抹去的未知能源可能就是深渊能量。

这里再强调一下，中文的“始基矿”源于希腊哲学的“本原”概念。本原是最初的物质，在希腊神话中是时间开始时形成一切事物的混沌之物。而在俄耳甫斯神话中，它是构成宇宙蛋的物质。我想，有件事无须提醒你们也想到了：《日月前事》参考了俄耳甫斯神话。

按：“始基”是“本原”的另一种译名。

Now, most likely, this Arkhium could be likened to the Abyss. And the Abyss is a material opposite of elemental energy. And azosite was a crystal core that was made by condensing elemental energy. So, by that logic, Arkhium is possibly the Abyssal version of azosite, which has its own mess of implications that I don't think I need to spell out for you.

I know that on the surface, Fontaine might feel a little detached from the rest of Teyvat. But when you look just a little bit closer, you'll realize that that is not the case at all. Just like real countries, these nations directly interact with each other. Sometimes in obvious ways through NPCs traveling outside of their homelands, and sometimes in not so obvious ways. Like how Enkanomiya in Inazuma has the same ancient architecture as Liyue's Chasm. Fontaine is going to be no different in this respect. I have no doubts about that.

那么，这个始基矿很可能与深渊有关，而深渊是元素能量的对立之物。阿索斯物质是浓缩元素能量制成的晶体核。同理，始基矿大概就是深渊的阿索斯物质，这其中的许多含义，我觉得也无须向大家详细解释。

我明白，枫丹表面上似乎有种与提瓦特其他地区格格不入的感觉。但如果仔细观察，就会发现事实并非如此。提瓦特诸国就像现实国家一样，有直接的相互交流。有时是通过 NPC 在国外旅行的直接方式展现，有时则不那么明显。稻妻的渊下宫和璃月的层岩都有相同的古代建筑，从这个角度看，枫丹不会有所不同，我对此毫不怀疑。

But in terms of the story, we have to remember that miHoYo has planned out the entire plot of the game from start to finish a long, long time ago. And every nation up until this point has built upon the foundations, lessons, and mysteries of all the nations that have come beforehand. Sumeru gave us a lot of answers, but it also left us with a lot of really important questions. And it will be Fontaine's turn very soon to take those questions and expand upon them. There are so many possibilities here, and I cannot wait to jump right into them.

But I think that just about does it for this historical context video. Now, I had a blast researching all of this in preparation for Fontaine, and I am more than ready to learn even more, historically, mythologically, and just in-game lore-wise.

但是，从故事的角度来看，我们必须记住，米哈游在很久很久以前就规划好了游戏的整体情节。到目前为止，每个国家都在前面所有国家的基础、经验和谜团上搭建起来。须弥给了我们很多答案，但也留下了很多非常重要的问题。很快，将轮到枫丹接过这些问题并加以扩展。其中的可能性有很多，我已经迫不及待地想要参与其中了。

关于历史背景的探讨就到这里告一段落吧。我为枫丹热身的过程中做了很多研究，现在，我已经做好了研究更多的历史、神话和游戏内故事的准备。

But unfortunately, we're going to have to wait until the 4.0 special program for that. So, ah, you're still waiting. But alrighty, guys, I hope you learned something, and I hope you're as excited as I am because 4.0 is literally just around the corner.

Thank you, as always, to all of my channel members for supporting me and what I do. And thank you very much for watching this video. I cannot wait to see you all in the Kingdom of Water. So take care, and I will see you there.

但是，我们还得等 4.0 版本的特别节目。那个，你还在等的对吧。好吧，伙伴们，希望你们有所收获，也希望你们和我一样兴奋，因为 4.0 已然近在眼前。

感谢各位一直以来支持我的频道成员。非常感谢大家观看本视频。我等不及在水之国见到你们了。那么保重吧，我们那里再见。
